Wed 5/27 Draft Questions


  • The Refinery 29 video ends saying that as these female environmental activists "continue to bring these issues to the global community, they are close to saving their homes and the rest of the world in the process" (10:39). Do you think that the fact that the environment is a part of people's home impacts the high number of women involved in the activism as an extension of domesticity? 
  • In Unearthing Women's Anti‐Mining Activism in the Andes, researchers note the predominantly high number of older women involved in activism, yet in the United States, we see most environmental activism being led by young people. What might account for this difference?
  • How does the fact that interviewees in Unearthing Women's Anti‐Mining Activism in the Andes called themselves peasants instead of women relate to the concept of warmilla and karilla as expressions of behavior in What does it mean to be an Indigenous Woman in Contemporary Times?
